Call it a prescription to help! Students at The Commonwealth Medical College in Scranton are gearing up to give back to area food banks as part of their seventh annual Turkey Trot. The event this weekend not only collects non-perishable food items on race day, but registration fees help support the annual "Friends Of The Poor" Thanksgiving dinner at the Scranton Cultural Center. The nonprofit is marking 30 years of feeding folks in need. Newswatch 16's Ryan Leckey got a preview Friday of what to expect at Sunday's event.
